Market Street Day in Salem canceled for Saturday

SALEM — The annual Market Street Day celebration, originally planned for Saturday, has been canceled due to bad weather expected to be brought by Hurricane Irene.

“It is with extreme disappointment that we have decided to cancel Market Street Day,” said City Council President Karen Tuthill. “We really thought we’d be able to get it in, but the weather keeps changing. It looks like it’s expected to start raining sooner than we thought.”

Tuthill said the event will hopefully be rescheduled for sometime this fall, but that no date has been set as of yet.
